Digging through this, I found one head end car and WP (new to us, anyway), but the NP, Burlington, PRR were ones I got, used, in the early to mid 60's. We literally ran the wheels off, replaced trucks at least once.
Fun to have them see the light of day again....

That Pennsy car looks like an early run.

There are two variants of it, brown doors that match and one with silver doors.

I have a slew of these - the latest arrival being an early CB&Q car like yours that was factory assembled (still in original RTR yellow box and with old sprung trucks). I also have the PRR (RTR as well with sprung trucks) and the early ATSF "shock control" car which is one of the harder ones to find. Roundhouse also released 3 of these with the Athearn bodies and sprung trucks but their own heavy metal frames.

I had the NP and GN express reefer when I was a kid(1970's). Ran the wheels off both.
